The Best Beach Games To Play This Summer
Alongside the usual making sand castles, being buried / burying others, jumping waves and such like… there is so much more fun to be had with your charges or own children at the beach this summer.
Remember that old board game favourite – Twister? Did you know there is now a portable / travel size that literally fits on a key ring and in the palm of your hand? Perfect for travel nannies or governesses and the 'twister dots' come inside the tiny box…and can be displayed across the beach sand.. or in a park / field…
Well known games such as 'Stuck in the mud' – can easily be adapted to 'Stuck in the sand'.
Playground favourites like 'What is the time Mr Wolf?', can become 'What is the time Mr Crab?'
When the children need a break from running around, having played active running games such as 'Hey fishy fishy', if you are caring for school age children, they could take a break by enjoying Uno or fun card games.
With younger children, 'Duck, Duck, Goose' can be changed to include the water version (Where warm water is poured from plastic cups onto the 'Ducks' heads, with the most on each child that is 'Goosed').
Three legged races are also a must, and instead of an 'egg and spoon race' – as per school sports days, how about using a spare spoon from your beach picnic for a 'shell and spoon race'?
What beach games do you enjoy with your children?
Here's to lots of summer fun :)

How to catch a cyberthiefWhat does it take to catch cybercriminals who hack into computers to steal personal and financial information? CNET's Kara Tsuboi takes us inside Microsoft's Cybercrimes Center.
At crime scenes detective search for evidence like fingerprints or DNA. For [UNKNOWN] the hunt for clues starts with the weapon. Melita software or viruses that can steal people's passwords, their personal information, drain their bank accounts. At the Microsoft Digital Crimes Unit in Washington State, a team of engineers, lawyers, investigators and analysts use computer forensic techniques to deconstruct and understand how the malware works. That means that we inject the malware in a clean computer to see the behaviors. Every malware leaves a digital footprint on the computer. They look for changes in the infected computer security settings, update options, and even additional screens asking users for banking and financial information in addition to username and password. Deciphering the malware can take hours or months. Some of them could be automated, however others we had to look at manually, review them code by code, line by line. Microsoft then works with financial institutions and law enforcement in a case known as Citadel. Microsoft helped pinpoint the Eastern European cyber criminals who robbed more than five million people world wide of $500 million. This map shows the infected computers. As you look at this map you will see a clear differential between Western Europe and Eastern Europe.>> Absolutely. And that stops really at the border. It's almost like a map with a GPS built into it. The software giant also investigates software piracy and not only because it hurts their bottom line. What we're seeing is one of the main ways that, the criminals are transmitting their malicious software is through, pirated software. To help fight the spread of child pornography online, Microsoft at Dartmouth Researchers developed photo DNA. The technology, establishes a, a digital hash, a unique signature for each. Photograph. Let's say that this photo of me is a known illegal image that's about to be uploaded to the internet again. The PhotoDNA software scans for matches to see if it can find the original photo and match it up against the one that has just been uploaded. And a match has been found. Crime lab technology trying to stay one click ahead of the criminals. In Redmond, Washington I'm Kara Tsuboi cnet.com for CBS News.

"I think without Ubuntu, it would be very difficult to use traditional Linux every day—not just Ubuntu as I enjoy it, but it's full family of derivatives and the impact it has every day on Debian and competing distributions, essentially keep GNU/Linux relevant for the desktop and power developer."
See Mark Shuttleworth: 'Ubuntu keeps GNU/Linux relevant'Remember how hard it was to even find "Linux" on Ubuntu.com, let alone "GNU"? Well, here we are in an interview and he uses all three terms in a single sentence! I like that even if his thesis wrong. GNU/Linux is plenty relevant. I only use Ubuntu GNU/Linux rarely, usually on others' PCs. I think TLW has one instance on a notebook provided by a relative. That notebook wasn't being used by its original owner. How's that for relevance? She uses Debian GNU/Linux on her desktop. It's been about a decade since I last used Ubuntu GNU/Linux seriously and that was a mistake. Debian is the way to go. Debian is about using your PC to its maximum capability, not stroking Mark's ego…

My MissionMy observations and opinions about IT are based on 40 years of use in science and technology and lately, in education. I like IT that is fast, cost-effective and reliable. I do not care whether my solution is the same as yours. I like to think for myself.
My first use of GNU/Linux in 2001 was so remarkably better than what I had been using, I feel it is important work to share GNU/Linux with the world. I have been blessed by working in schools where students and school systems have benefited by good, modular software easily installed in most systems.
I have shown GNU/Linux to thousands of students and hundreds of teachers over the years and will continue in some way doing that until I die in spite of the opposition.

We have never had so much to celebrate in a single year. 2017 marks important birthdays for Canada and Montreal, 125 and 375 years respectively, and is also the inaugural year of a world-class cultural hub right here in la belle province. Opening on the Place des festivals in the heart of the Quartier des spectacles, the Édifice Wilder Espace Danse regroups Quebec's leading purveyors of dance under one roof. Agora de la danse, Tangente, École de Danse contemporaine de Montréal and Les Grands Ballets will share this 10-story building with the Ministry of Culture and Communications, the Conseil des arts et lettres du Québec and the Régie du cinéma. Where there used to be designated events for artistic entities to exchange, there will now be daily encounters between people from every perspective of the dance community. And with its central downtown location, the Wilder building will also open its doors to the public to explore and interact with the arts like never before.
The Wilder building's construction dates back to 1918, when the original owner was the furniture manufacturer H. A. Wilder. I couldn't imagine a more fitting name for a home to dance than this one, Wilder, that evokes curiosity, daring and, by its heritage, a foundation in history. The current extensive renovations began in 2014 after the building had been abandoned for several years, and finally the first new occupants have taken residence within the revamped walls at 1435 rue de Bleury. The original structure mostly makes up offices and administrative areas, while new additions house large creation spaces, common areas and more. By summer, the building is expected to be complete, all occupants moved in, and all operations under way. Already, the east-facing glass facade was included the annual Luminotherapie happening with giant projections reflected upon it to brighten the dark winter nights.
Agora de la danse and Tangente are the first to set up shop in their long awaited new home. Among hardhat-wearing construction workers, these two companies decided to end the wait and launch their winter/spring seasons in Espace Danse. Melanie Demers and her company MAYDAY will have the honor of baptizing the building with its first performance on February 22, Animal Triste, presented by Agora. Wilder will have already heard its first applause, though. During a private tour on January 25th, the media and select artists got a peek at the two companies' new quarters, meeting in each new space the person for whom it was named: Françoise Sullivan, creator of the consequential Canadian performance art piece Danse dans la neige, Florence Junca-Adenot, founder of Agora, Dena Davida, co-founder and curator of Tangente, and Paul-Andre Fortier, recipient of the Governor General's Performance Arts Award for lifetime achievement in dance. As we discovered each space, we applauded in excitement of seeing the project so near completion.
Propelled by the energy of the collective, Espace Danse is the answer to a mountain of needs within the dance community. Performance spaces will now be owned, instead of rented, allowing for more shows and more creativity in how they are built, performed, and received. Each space has its custom technical set up and set of features, whether that be a wraparound hall to extend an experience beyond the traditional four walls, or giant windows allowing passersby to peer in on the creative process, the possibilities and combinations are endless. More artists are already benefiting from residencies, and more will be creating work in the very rooms in which they will later perform. Audiences will be able to take dance classes or stop in for an afternoon coffee in the same building where they attend their favourite shows. Dance is literally taking its place in the heart of Montreal and inviting everyone to join the movement.

If the long-term care market is "broken," why are some experts calling this year the year to buy the product?
"The current private long-term care insurance market is effectively broken," says Gretchen E. Alkema, vice president of policy and communications at the SCAN Foundation of Long Beach, Calif. "It has never held more than 10% of the potential market and many insurers have stopped offering these policies altogether. Reasons for lack of uptake are many: lack of public understanding and interest, high monthly premiums, and underwriting standards that make it difficult for individuals to qualify for coverage."
Phyllis Shelton, president of Nashville-based LTC Consultants, concurs that the LTCI market is changing substantially. Nevertheless, Shelton, said "2013 is the year to buy long-term care insurance."
But why now?
"Insurance carriers are having to withdraw some of the more desirable benefits to keep rates as stable as possible," Shelton says. "Now is the time to buy before gender rating kicks in and before the best inflation option [5%, compounded for life] becomes unaffordable or goes away. It takes time for new products to get approved — some states are really slow — so I believe we have until the end of this year before most of the changes are pushed through."
According to Shelton, LTC insurance is still a viable and necessary planning tool; there are new and effective solutions available. Those solutions include not only stand-alone LTC insurance but also combo products. That is, someone who buys a life insurance policy might also get LTC benefits, if needed; similarly, someone who buys an annuity might also receive money for long-term care, under the contract.
In any case, participants will have life insurance or annuity benefits. Money won't be "wasted" on a stand-alone LTC policy if the purchaser never collects benefits for long-term care. Participants essentially are leveraging the money they put into life insurance or a deferred annuity to provide funds for possible long-term care as well.
"My son Chris and I have sold combo products," says Lisle, Ill.-based Brian Ashe of Brian Ashe & Associates, Ltd., an insurance and investment firm. "We have more interest now that there are fewer stand-alone policies. People like the idea of being able to 'get something back' if they don't need the long-term care benefit."
Shelton says combo products are also called "asset-based LTC." As she cautions, "The big thing for producers to keep in mind is that they must explain what the product will pay out on a monthly basis at claim time. Even the wealthiest clients can get upset if they think they are buying something that pays half the cost of care and it really pays 20% of the cost when they have to use the policy."
Participants with existing life insurance policies or annuities can exchange them, tax-free under Section 1035 of the tax code, for combo life insurance-LTC or annuity-LTC products as well as for stand-alone LTC insurance, Shelton notes.

From publisher blurb:
The Scarab-class freighter is named for the squat, sturdy shape of its hull and its rugged endurance. It is just a coincidence that the original scarab is a species of "dung beetle" and this class of ship is often employed moving garbage and other unseemly cargos. The extended-hull version of the ship is known as the Kiboko-class, which is a Swahili word for hippo (a reference to its bulk and ungainly nature outside of the void). Both are cheap and dependable, though lacking in amenities. Each carries a crew of 2 to 12 and is designed to haul large quantities of everything from cargo crates, to shipping containers, to ore, trash, and even liquids like fuel or water.
The components built into these ships are about a decade behind "state of the art". Using older designs and refurbished parts keeps the cost down but doesn't produce a ship worth bragging about. Where the ship gets good marks is in durability. The hull is strong and well reinforced. This is necessary in order to haul dense cargo loads but also means the ship can withstand a lot of punishment. The older systems are also easy to maintain since any problems are well known and spare parts are plentiful. Lastly, the relative cost of these ships is low. That is, after all, the point. Both the Scarab-class and the Kiboko-class are unapologetically designed to get the job done, reliably, for the minimum price possible. These common ships are not much respected by ambitious independent pilots or status-conscious smugglers, but are very popular with companies and agencies that need a large number of cheap haulers.
The Scarab package contains four highly detailed, layered PDF files:
These ships are bulk haulers and much of their interior is dedicated to a single, cavernous hold. In a game setting the huge cargo hold could be used to store several ground vehicles or fighters instead of cargo, or could just be a great place to have a fight. The layered maps allow for the cargo to be shown or hidden – meaning you can have an empty hold or one crowded with palettes, crates, and barrels.
As always, this product is designed to give you ready-made ships to plug into your setting and rules of choice - lending depth and detail to your campaign. When it's time to play, zero hour is ready!

Under new rules introduced by the Small Business, Enterprise and Employment Act 2015 large companies and large LLPs will be under an obligation to report on their payment practices and performance. The new requirement is expected to come into force in April 2017.
These rules form part of the government's campaign to help to tackle late payment of suppliers by large businesses.
The new reporting requirement will affect those charities and social enterprises established as companies which fulfil the large companies criteria in the Companies Act 2006. "Large" companies are companies which meet two out of the following three criteria:
- turnover of more than £36 million;
- balance sheet total of more than £18 million;
- more than 250 employees.
Under the new rules, every six months a large company will be required to publish a report on its website which discloses, amongst other information:
- Standard payment terms, including any changes made to those terms during the last reporting period.
- Average time taken to pay.
- Proportion of invoices paid after the due date.
- Proportion of invoices paid in 30 days or less, paid between 31 and 60 days, and paid beyond 60 days.
- Amount of late payment interest owed and paid.
This is the latest in a series of Government measures tackling late payment. It follows the introduction in 2015 of the Prompt Payment Code, which is a voluntary scheme requiring signatories to pay suppliers within a maximum of 60 days (in line with the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998), to work towards adopting 30 days as the norm, and to avoid any practices that adversely affect the supply chain.

Editorial: No gain, less pain
September 29, 2012
News & Record (Greensboro, NC)
According to the latest numbers on obesity, the Bible Belt may require some considerable loosening in coming years to make room for expanding waist lines.
In North Carolina, where an unsettling 29 percent obesity rate is bad enough news (28.3 percent in Guilford County), it will only get worse, according to a new report from the Trust for America's Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. By 2030, the report projects, the number of North Carolinians classified as obese will have surged to a staggering 58 percent.
The South's weight problems will be especially acute, with top-ranked Mississippi (67 percent), Tennessee (63 percent), Alabama (63 percent), South Carolina (63 percent), Louisiana (62 percent) and Arkansas (61 percent) taking six of the top 10 spots nationally in the projections. All told, 39 states will exceed 50 percent in obesity rates, the report forecasts.

The company was founded in 1945 when Giovanni Porta decided to develop his first women shoes collection. In 1954, he participated to the International Footwear Exhibition in Florence, which allowed him to attract international customers. In 1956, he married Ms. Elisabetta who helped him to develop the company.
The 60's and 70's were characterized by a strong penetration in the markets of Europe, North America, Asian Countries as Hong Kong and Japan.
At the beginning of the 80's, Giancarlo and Sandro, the sons of the founder, started to work in the company. They contributed to reposition their product, paying attention to fashion trends, but always remaining faithful to company features: confort and quality.
In the last years, huge investments were addressed to the building of the new seat, inaugurated in 2007 a modern factory, built on a 20.000 sq. m. ground, 6.500 sq. m. of which belong to the production department where 1.000 pairs of shoes a day are produced.
The whole production is made in the company's plants, combining new technologies with traditional hand manufacturing, in order to protect the high handcrafted quality.
Family tradition and entrepreneurship are the baisis of Jeannot's success, strong supporter of the "Made in Italy" philosophy, as essential element to face international challenges.

Classified By: DCM Karen Decker for reasons 1.4 (b) & (d).
1. (C) Summary. Afghanistan is Priority One for Estonia at the upcoming NATO Summit in Bucharest. Estonia has announced it will send a mortar platoon to Afghanistan this spring as an additional commitment to ISAF, but is unlikely Estonia will be ready to contribute to a new PRT in Nimroz. Other Government of Estonia (GOE) priorities at Bucharest include NATO enlargement and cyber security. While the GOE is not satisfied completely that the "Adriatic 3" are fully prepared for NATO membership, it is largely satisfied with the pace of reforms and wants NATO to extend invitations to all three nations at the Summit. Estonia has consistently supported Membership Action Plans for Ukraine and Georgia (especially the latter), but GOE officials accept that other Allies may prefer to see further reform before MAP invitations are issued. The GOE strongly supports reference in the Summit's final declaration to the commitment of NATO allies to cyber defense. End Summary.
2. (C) The GOE believes that Afghanistan is the most important agenda item for Bucharest. In addition, Estonia has pressed for improved NATO-EU cooperation in Brussels (Note: Estonia has also pressed for inclusion of Afghanistan on the GAERC agenda. End Note.) GOE interlocutors expect the Parliament to approve another extension of Estonia's own military mandate in Afghanistan (which will expire in December 2008), but acknowledge they understand that other countries who have sustained significant losses want to see the burden better shared between European allies (Ref B).
3. (C) MOD and MFA contacts, up to and including the Undersecretary of Political Affairs (Harri Tiido), who is also Estonia's non-resident Ambassador to Afghanistan, are actively engaged in looking for more ways Estonia can contribute in Afghanistan. (Note: The GOE plans to more than double development assistance to Afghanistan - from USD 146,000 in 2007 to almost USD 390,000 in 2008. GOE also sent a Health Advisor to Helmand March 10. End Note.) It is unlikely, however, that the GOE will announce plans at this time to contribute to a new PRT in Nimroz (suggested Ref C) or to provide an OMLT. There continue to be unofficial discussions on these possibilities, but at this point, no decisions have been made. "Sustaining Estonia's current contributions in Afghanistan and other operations will be difficult enough," our MOD contacts note.
4. (C) That said, the GOE will be sending a mortar platoon in May to reinforce its current contingent in Helmand Province. This mortar platoon will provide general support to all coalition forces in the Task Force Helmand Area of Operations, not just to the Estonian contingent. (NOTE: Final approval by the MOD for the deployment of the mortar platoon is pending. As the deployment was not anticipated during budget preparations, the UK will be funding ammunition this year. Other issues of interoperability have been resolved. Deployment of the mortar platoon (approximately 20 soldiers) does not require additional parliamentary approval. The mandate approved by Parliament in December 2007 allows Estonia to deploy up to 150 troops in Afghanistan. Right now, there are 121 troops on the ground. End Note.)
5. (C) Estonia has been a consistent, vocal supporter of both NATO and EU enlargement. Among the Adriatic 3 (Croatia, Macedonia and Albania), the GOE views Croatia as the best prepared. However, GOE officials have voiced concerns to us about the Croatian public's lack of popular support for NATO. GOE interlocutors have also stressed their interest in encouraging Greece and Macedonia to settle the name issue, but feel that it is unfair to deny Macedonia membership if all other stipulations have been met. GOE interlocutors are least optimistic about Albania's chances at Bucharest. However, FM Paet commented on the eve of his March 5 trip to the NATO foreign ministers meeting in Brussels that if the Adriatic 3 continue making the necessary reforms at their current pace, Estonia supports issuing an invitation for accession to each of them during the Bucharest summit.
6. (C) The GOE considers Georgia and Ukraine as two of its top priorities with respect to development assistance and has been very active in fostering democratic, security and economic reforms in the two countries. The GOE has also been a strong advocate of MAP for both Georgia and Ukraine at Bucharest as an acknowledgement of the achievements of both countries. Our contacts in the MOD and MFA have told us they are concerned that if MAP is not offered to these two countries at Bucharest, it could cause a regression in their progress
and provide Russia with an opportunity to destabilize the region (Ref A). GOE officials have publicly acknowledged that the events in Georgia in November damaged Georgia's reputation and potentially its MAP aspirations. The GOE is also concerned that Ukraine has not implemented all the necessary reforms and still needs to convince an openly hostile public as to the benefits of NATO membership. As Bucharest approaches, GOE officials have begun stressing the importance of encouraging further reforms by giving clear and positive signals regarding eventual MAP offers to Ukraine and Georgia at Bucharest. This was reflected in a recent statement by FM Paet that Estonia supports further Euro-Atlantic integration in Georgia and Ukraine, and that both partners could receive a MAP "during this year."
7. (C) The GOE views a public reference to cyber security as a priority deliverable at Bucharest. From the Estonian perspective, this declaration would not only confirm NATO's willingness to build up the cyber defense network of the Alliance, but also would serve as a public example of NATO's willingness to tackle emerging threats to society. The GOE is also hopeful that any statement will highlight progress already achieved and prioritize implementation of the cyber defense policy agreed upon at the Defense Ministerial in Vilnius in February. At the same time, the GOE is not seeking a statement that specifically defines current NATO thought regarding the relationship between Article 5 and cyber security.

THE DEAD, 1904 has completed its sold out 2017 run of 50 performances at the American Irish Historical Society
The Misses Morkan wish to thank all of their guests for attending their Feast of the Epiphany party, and hope to see you again in future years, back at their home on Usher's Island.
THE DEAD, 1904 is an adaptation, by Paul Muldoon and Jean Hanff Korelitz, of James Joyce's classic holiday story, "The Dead." In this immersive version, directed by Ciaran O'Reilly, audience members will themselves attend the Morkan sisters' annual party, move from room to room with the actors, listen to the music, watch the dances, share food and drink with the characters. THE DEAD, 1904 received its world premiere from the Irish Repertory Theatre in 2016 at the American Irish Historical Society's period mansion on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, and returned to the same location from November 18, 2017 - January 7, 2018. Wine, spirits and a Victorian meal (inspired by the dinner in Joyce's story and created by Great Performances catering) are an intrinsic part of the adaptation. The audience is limited to 57 people. Snow will be general.
THE DEAD, 1904 is produced by Dot Dot Productions, Laurie Eustis and Kathleen Begala in association with the American Irish Historical Society.

'Awakened by these words, softly spoken, I glanced at the sleeping form next to me in the dim pre-dawn light. Last night's chaos still fresh on my mind. Reaching for clothes which had been tossed carelessly on the floor, I remembered to set aside the knives; Though I had before, perhaps on this day it just wouldn't do to have tea with the ruler of this land, the father of my new bedmate, while fully armed.'
An air of slightly smoky imported black tea with chamomile mixes with the slightly damp woodsy scent of a cool morning in the old manor.

For any marketer, figuring out young people's needs and desires is a big stepping stone to a successful campaign. Millennials and Generation Z represent an enormous group of potential buyers with a huge spending power. And thanks to these digitally savvy generations it is now easier than ever to reach them through social media and online destinations.
But marketing to these two group isn't quite the same, beyond different needs and tastes, each generation approaches online advertising in their own way, therefore, marketers and brands will have to adjust their approach to reach their preferred target audience effectively.
Generation Z is made up mostly of teens, born between 1996 and 2010. Millennials, born between 1980 and 1995 are now starting to buy homes and build families with the last of its members being still at University or embarking on their first jobs.
Though millennials seem to have all the spending power, Generation Z really is not to be underestimated and will increasingly influence new trends and buying behaviours in the future. But as both groups grow up with digital being an option, there are some key differences you should be aware of when marketing to them.
Generation Z is the first generation completely emerged in the digital age. They never knew a world without Internet access and mobile phones. They are very much looking for authenticity in their marketing and want to see real people in advertising. As they heavily relate to their online creators, noticeably more than to traditional celebrities, influencer marketing is a strong tactic to use when trying to effectively reach these teens. Compared to the 63% of Gen Z users preferring real people, only 37% of millennials find this to be true, yet 40% think that their favourite YouTuber might understand them better than friends and family.
If wanting to target to either of these groups, finding the right YouTuber or Instagrammer can create a massive advantage over traditional ways of marketing, as the personal approach and understanding these creators offer are something that is admired by both generations.
It turns out, both generations spend a similar amount of time looking at screens. A whooping 17 hours each day! This may, of course, be at work or University but for the teens of Generation Z, this shows an indication for a lot of after school web surfing and smartphone time. Interestingly, the habits during screen time differ widely. Apparently, millennials spend most of their time on Amazon, whereas Gen Z really does love YouTube. Almost three-quarters of Gen Z asked in studies visit the site daily. This offers a unique opportunity for any brand to showcase their products on YouTube as ads or to collaborate with YouTubers for promotional purposes.
Deep focus recently published information on the differences between the generations and their online behaviour. What stood out to us when that they actually asked the question we were all dying to know the answer to. ''Which ads capture your attention?''
It seems no category had an absolute majority, but ads that include celebrities or athletes capture the attention of 20% of the millennial viewers and 27% of Gen Z. Advertisements that create an emotional connection far better with Millennials, reaching 31% but Gen Z seems to be left cold with only 20% of them liking this type of marketing. So maybe in your next strategy meeting, bring these points up and see where it can take you.
Keep in mind that these young generations have an increasingly short attention spans, Millennials loose interest after just 12 seconds but you may loose Generation Z after just 8 seconds! Make sure you're off to a good start to capture views for the remaining time or play it cool and advertise with boomerangs, snap chats and Instagram stories.
The answer is yes! Polls suggest that online ads are more effective with millennials users though. Millennials are generally more aware of online ads and like to shop online more frequently than the younger generation (this will, of course, be influenced by disposable income and busy work schedules) Seventy-one percent of millennials said that they'd been exposed to an ad for a company before making a purchase, but only 59% of Gen Z users said the same.
Marketing to Gen Z through online advertising is more difficult than marketing to millennials using the same methods. We suspect this to be mainly influences by how the time is spend online.
We could write a whole book about the fascinating differences and similarities these two generations offer. But you might be a millennial and your attention span is apparently very short so here are a few short pointers that can help your campaign to really be effective.
Do you want to capture the attention of the influencers of tomorrow? Give us a shout and we can enlighten to ways that will get those likes up.

When the world speaks about conservation hero's, they generally talk about the distinguished, highly educated and eloquent scientist. They talk about government's abilities to proclaim and manage new protected areas, they talk about the people that have raised funds for conservation and they even talk about the poachers and the swathes of bloody mutilated corpses that they leave behind in the veld.
Yet it is the ranger that is at the front line of conservation. It is this ranger that has to endure the rough and dangerous conditions in the field protecting our conservation areas. It is the ranger that has to tackle the poachers and bear the consequences of these contacts. It is the ranger that puts his or her life on the line for conservation on a daily basis. Sadly, the world largely ignores these real conservation heroes' – they are the unseen, unknown shadows that are the guardians of our protected areas and iconic species. It is this ranger that is the real face of conservation - and they need our support!
This project is carried out in partnership with the Game Rangers Association of Africa (GRAA) that provides support, networks and representation for game rangers across Africa. This conservation photography project will use rangers as the "lead characters" to highlight the issues faced by conservationists and showcase opportunities for improved support of rangers in the future. Positive and targeted messages will be communicated that emphasise the critical role that rangers play in African conservation in ensuring that the continent's natural heritage is preserved for the benefit of future generations. Support Africa's Rangers by supporting the GRAA.
Peter Chadwick is a Fellow of the International League of Conservation Photographers (iLCP) whose mission is to further environmental and cultural conservation through photography. The iLCP's goal is to use the art of high-quality photography to encourage people to take action in support of tangible and meaningful conservation measures.

Some call him FoxFace... others: Rabbit fish... he was previously referred to as Lo... But the problem with popular names is that they are extremely variable from town to country... After a while, especially if you deal with numerous species, the confusion becomes annoying. So we adopted a philosohy :) here at SBMarine. We will always use the most recent scientific name available or the most utilized since they too have a tendency to be reclassified...
AEGIS is a Siganus Vulpinus (with Black Markings)... I know there is already scientific confusion about one or two distinct species... In my personal opinion I consider it to be a local variation. So until some autopsy, dorsal ray count and DNA sampling says otherwise: it will remain a Siganus Vulpinus with Black Markings, with us !! Does everyone feel comfortable with this ??
(on that blurred picture up there)
He's happy to be a Survivor !! And he is zooming from one feeding area to another... at lightning speed: because he just can't seem to get his fill. Have a closer look at the photographs below... :) you'll get the picture.
Area 1: Rhodactis Anemones & Blue Mussels
AEGIS was picked up as a juvenile, december 1 2013, and he grew up with Giant Rhodactis and Quadricolor Anemones. Many fish are opportunistic feeders as far as Anemones are concerned and AEGIS was no exception !! Rhodactis close upon feeding and look like balloons while digesting: so the fish have to stick around from 10 to 45 minutes to steal the leftovers... However Giant Symbiotic Anemones grasp the food with their tentacles so the fish won't hesitate at stealing their meal away. Aegis is an expert at this and the Premnas didn't oppose his intrusion. So that's why there are so many Blue Mussels piled up here :) Keeping him busy in Area 1 gave Rose and Demi sufficient time to gobble up... well, most of the time. Mussels and Oysters are suited to feeding so-called Algae Eaters since they are filter feeders. Their stomachs are filled with Phytoplankton which is quite nutritious. If you look closely at the mussels it will give you an idea of the size of these Rhodactis. When properly maintained and hand-fed they reach their maximimum adult size of 12 inches in only one year !!! Spectacular !!
Area 2: Rose & Demi, Entacmea Quadricolor
December 1st 2013: AEGIS goes in an Emergency Tank
But AEGIS's life was not always peaches & cream... He is a perfect example of what goes on in the Bad Side of the Aquaria Trade. Long collecting and shipping routes, no feeding, terrible maintenance conditions, etc...
Look carefully at his abdomen protruding from his compressed and flattened body (barely no muscle tissue). This is why unscrupulous Distributors and LFS never feed their fish: so the consumer does not notice. An unknowing person would assume that the fish is a flat bodied species... So AEGIS was immediately placed with Spiny Venomous Friends, just like him, in a sea of GREEN. He had actively devoured the GHA during 48 hours when the picture was taken !! He was also treated to a large mussel all to himself !!
AEGIS: four months later...
Not so flat after all !!! His abdomen does not protrude any more but shows that he has passed the rachitic state and is now a well constituded Siganus Vulpinus. And he's my best friend too :)
24 excruciatingly painful sources of neurotoxic venom
Same as the Scorpion Fish: Siganus Vulpinus packs a powerful punch that you will never forget... I personally garantee it !!! Picture was taken several days after AEGIS was placed in the tank... He was very crancky and wouldn't tolerate anyone or anything coming even close to his new feeding ground... So he paraded constantly. By the way Siganus are lightning fast and will easily jump out a tank if it is not covered with glass (most fish will, to your dismay): even in normal conditions since they are a rather delicate species regarding trust. This species requires a calm environment and Mature, Adult and Responsible caretakers... In my humble opinion it is not suited at all for a Family Tank with young children around...
Where is AEGIS now ?
In the AEGIS tank of course... Picture was taken yesterday (april 15 2016). And he is affectionately taking care of his new Rhodactis Anemones.. but in my opinion he'll need a new friend to help him with keeping the estate trimmed.... It is a relatively large tank after all... :)

Few books were published for advanced players in the last 12 months. The most notable was "The Contested Auction," by Roy Hughes (Master Point Press), which won the International Bridge Press Association's prize for the best book of the year.
Julian Pottage's "Play or Defend: 68 Hands to Test Your Bridge Skill" (Master Point Press) is unusual in that readers are shown the full 52-card diagram and asked to choose whether they would prefer to be declarer or to defend against the stated contract. Sounds easy, but these deals are not simple.
"Improve Your Slam Bidding," by Ron Klinger (Weidenfeld & Nicolson), is labeled improver/intermediate. It starts out that way, but soon becomes much more helpful for serious partnerships.
For example, after using Roman Key Card Blackwood to ask for key cards, Klinger recommends that a bid in a nontrump suit (that would not inquire about the trump queen) ask replier for his holding in that suit. The answers are in steps: no top honor (except perhaps the ace, which is already known), the queen, the king, and the king and queen.
The diagramed deal is from Hughes's book. Look only at the North hand. With your side vulnerable, East opens one spade, your partner overcalls two clubs, and West jumps pre-emptively to four spades. What would you do, if anything?
This is the sort of situation that partners need to discuss. There is no guaranteed winning action. Hughes admits to a sneaking admiration for five clubs. Most flexible, though, is a double. This is not purely for penalty, given the big spade fit the opponents apparently have. It shows "convertible values" — enough high cards to act, but no better call available.Continue reading the main story
How does South react? The standard style is to pass with a balanced hand and hope the contract is defeated. With an unbalanced hand, the intervenor (South) acts, knowing that some useful goodies will appear in the dummy.
Here, South probably should run to four no-trump, leaving open the chance of playing in a 5-3 (or 6-3?) fit in a red suit. North would presumably then bid five clubs. Alternatively, South might bid five clubs himself.
What should West lead against five clubs?
While you are thinking about that, note that four spades doubled goes down one, plus 100 to North-South.
Five clubs can be made if South plays on hearts, not on diamonds. But given that East is marked with the heart king for his opening bid, South would probably hope for a 3-2 diamond break, unless West leads his singleton, trying for a diamond ruff or two. That ought to push declarer in the right direction.
However, because West has so many trumps, he probably should lead a spade, trying to reduce South's club length. Then declarer is likely to go wrong, discarding hearts, not diamonds, from the dummy as he draws trumps.
As you can see, bridge is rarely a pure science. The imponderables of the unseen cards bring some guesswork into the equation.Continue reading the main story

SOURCE: Epicor Software Corporation
July 19, 2016 09:00 ET
Holding Company Says Multi-Tenant Cloud Deployment Will Reduce Redundancy, Improve Collaboration and Customer Service, and Support Growth for Subsidiaries
AUSTIN, TX--(Marketwired - July 19, 2016) - Epicor Software Corporation, a global provider of industry-specific enterprise software to promote business growth, announced today The TASI Group has chosen Epicor ERP, deployed in the cloud, to replace multiple disparate systems and reduce redundant business processes, decrease quote-to-cash timeframes, improve the customer experience with advanced customer relationship management (CRM) functionality and greater inventory control, and enable better collaboration among employees across the globe.
Established as a holding company in 1999, The TASI Group is comprised of three business segments with a shared focus on testing, inspection, and measurement; together they engineer and manufacture advanced inspection instrumentation and systems, flowmeters and flow control products, measurement instrumentation, and automated assembly and test systems. Major markets include automotive, medical device, life science, pharmaceutical, packaging, oil and gas, food and beverage, and consumer goods industries. The company has more than 800 employees in 14 locations worldwide.
"We're in the process of implementing Epicor Cloud ERP at four of our locations, and eventually we plan to have our entire organization on one system," said David Slater, ERP project manager, The TASI Group. "Our goal is to become a billion dollar company in the next five years, so it's essential we invest in a state-of-the-art, integrated software solution now. We believe Epicor can help get us there."
The TASI Group's leadership team began searching for a new solution in April 2015 and quickly narrowed their choices down to Epicor Cloud ERP and a competing solution. Though they initially believed both vendors offered the features they need to support their aggressive growth goals, they were more impressed with the level of transparency they encountered with Epicor during the selection process. Ultimately, they also preferred the out-of-the-box functionality offered with Epicor Cloud ERP and agreed the Epicor implementation methodology would be a better fit for their organization.
"As part of our selection process, we asked each vendor to let us test-run their solution. Almost immediately, Epicor granted us temporary access to a training application, while the competitor was hesitant to let us peek behind the curtain," Slater continued. "Eventually we were able to test their system on a limited basis, but Epicor Cloud ERP still felt like a better fit. The system offers the tools we need without excessive customization, and the people we spoke to were knowledgeable and accommodating, which is a key consideration when choosing a long-term business partner."
"Epicor Cloud ERP offers the industry-specific functionality and flexibility our customers need to support a modern manufacturing environment, and it's backed by a team of industry experts focused on providing exceptional service," said Tom Muth, senior product marketing manager, Epicor Software Corporation. "We're very excited to build a solid partnership with The TASI Group and its subsidiaries and help support the organization's plans for growth over the next several years. We look forward to playing a part in their continued success."

Maryland musters four unanswered goals in 5-1 rout of Coastal Carolina
COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- Sunny Jane scored two goals and notched an assist as No. 2 Maryland punched its ticket to the national quarterfinals for the fourth time in five seasons with a 5-1 rout of Coastal Carolina on Sunday at Ludwig Field.
Maryland's defense held the Chanticleer attack to only one goal, and combined Jane's goals with scores from Patrick Mullins, Mikias Eticha and Jereme Raley for a complete team effort.
After an uneventful first 10 minutes, Eticha knocked in a dangerous cross from Jane for his first goal of the season in the 13th minute.
Coastal Carolina (20-3-2) rebounded in the 21st minute when Ashton Bennett scored from 19 yards out. The squad's top scorer took advantage of a weak Maryland clearance and was able to guide the ball past Terrapin keeper Keith Cardona for his 16th goal of the 2012 campaign.
Maryland (19-1-2) came back less than a minute later when a Mullins' free kick from 30 yards found its way into the net. The ball was misjudged by Coastal keeper Mark Petrus and bounced into the left corner of the goal for Mullins' team-high 15th goal of the year.
The Terps dominated the second half with Jane leading the way. He scored his first two goals of the season in a span of just four minutes.
Jane's first goal came as he beat Petrus to the back right post after getting past a Coastal defender in the 60th minute.
Jane's second goal came shortly after when freshman Christiano Francois retrieved the ball on the end line and laid it back to Jane, who shot it past Petrus in the 64th minute.
Maryland put the Chanticleers away when Raley got on the end of a Jordan Cyrus pass in the 86th minute.
The five goals were the highest total for Maryland since a 6-0 victory against California on Sept. 2.
"I'm very proud of our guys. I thought defensively, we did a great job," head coach Sasho Cirovski said. "Although this was two great attacking teams, I thought the team that was going to win was the one that was better defensively, and I thought our guys did a great job in neutralizing some of the great individual players that Coastal has."
Maryland's backline of Cyrus, Mikey Ambrose, Dakota Edwards and London Woodberry held the Chanticleers, who came into the game with nation-high 62 goals scored, to only one goal on 11 shots.

Former Walmart CEO Saved By Cirrus Parachute
Cirrus parachutes have been used more than 50 times. More than 30,000 parachutes have also been installed on a variety of other planes, saving more than 200 lives. Today it was former Walmart CEO Bill Simon's life. He was heading from Bentonville, Arkansas to Waco, Texas, when his Cirrus SR22T ran into engine trouble shortly after takeoff.
Simon told ATC, "I'm going to need an all-crash here. We're going to try to find a place over here that's clear." Moments later the aircraft, under parachute, landed on a stretch of road hitting a pickup truck carrying a female driver and two children. All including Simon, walked away with just minor injuries.
The FAA and NTSB are investigating Tuesday's incident.
VIDEO Associated Press: Plane Flown By Ex-Wal-Mart CEO Crashes A small plane piloted by the former chief executive of Wal-Mart Stores Inc. has crashed near a high school in northwestern Arkansas. Three men aboard were taken to a hospital, along with a woman whose truck was hit. (Nov. 3)

Web design is one of those professions that is constantly evolving and in order to continuously set yourself apart from the competition, you must stay on top of the current website trends and look towards the future.
Now is the time to impress your future customers by showing off how ready your website is for 2017 and beyond. In order to do that, let's take a quick peak at the current website trends that will pave the way for web design this year.
Mobile devices have been found to be the primary source of all browsing on the internet. That is the main reason we see brands taking importance to how they deliver their sites effectively to smaller screen devices, such as tablets and mobile phones. In 2017, more preeminence will be placed on websites being created around a mobile-first design. Designers will continue to place more importance on mobile view besides what the site actually looks like on a laptop. Businesses that do not yet have a responsive mobile first design will start to shift this year in high numbers.
Website trends (primarily web design trends) are making sites look and work alike. More and more customers are looking for creativity and authenticity from brands. Stock photos just aren't going to cut it anymore. Brands are going to need to set themselves apart from their competitors and using original photos can help them deliver their message more effectively to their potential and current customers. This year, we expect to see more brands using original photos on their websites, within social media posts and in their ad copy.
Preeminence will be placed more on bold large typography. Brands want to make a statement, bring more life to their pages, and the ever increasing importance of using call-to-action text is leading this trend for brands to start using more bold large typography throughout their websites, especially above-the-fold and within blog articles. You can expect to see more websites this year use bold large typography throughout their websites in all difference sections.
Long scrolling, single-page sites, and infinitely scrolling sites are becoming more and more common. With the ever increasing amount of different screen sizes users have to choose from, a lot of designers have started to focus on long scrolling, single-page sites, and infinitely scrolling sites which are proving to be even more functional on tablets and mobile phones. Another important aspect is user experience. Long scrolling, single-page sites, and infinitely scrolling sites can make navigating the website a lot easier and eliminates the user from having to click to reach additional content. The more clicks they are from reaching your content, the less likely they'll see it and your bounce rate will end up being high. This year, we're going to see more brands focusing on keeping their users on their websites longer using less clicks than traditionally used before in the past years.
As a business, the primary use of your website should be to connect customers to your brand. Telling the story of your brand is an effective way to interact with your future customers. Brands are using dynamic storytelling through the use of videos, images, and text. This effectively helps you communicate the story behind your brand and gets your visitors emotionally involved in your company. This has been found to be a great way to stand out from your competition. Dynamic storytelling has been proving to turn website visitors into customers and we expect to see this trend continue on throughout this year as more brands start to tell their own stories.
